SwaggerHub AsyncAPI Support recognized with 2022 API Award for Best in Microservices by API World Advisory Board.
SmartBear, a leading provider of software development and visibility tools, has released AsyncAPI Specification support in SwaggerHub, the company’s integrated API development platform and choice of API designers, developers, and architects who are building, testing, and deploying high quality APIs. In addition to the OpenAPI Specification for REST APIs, development teams working across event-driven architectures can now collaborate in SwaggerHub to develop, document, and standardize their APIs. AsyncAPI is the leading specification to document and describe event-driven API architectures, including Apache Kafka.

“Until, there was no single solution where teams could collaborate, design, and document both synchronous and asynchronous APIs,” said Sean Butler, VP of Product Management at SmartBear. “Adding AsyncAPI event-driven architecture capabilities to SwaggerHub increases the ability for enterprises to have visibility into API estates across multiple specifications. For the first time, message-driven and event-driven dev teams can come together to collaborate and document APIs, create and lookup AsyncAPI definitions, control access between users and APIs, and centralize re-useable components.”

As companies grow and rely more on automation and expansion through APIs, so does the need to manage that increasing complexity. EDAs add a backbone to an organization’s internal services, satisfying the need to rapidly deploy new services, engage in real-time communications, and deliver more value both internally and to end users.
API standards continue to emerge to meet new challenges. The State of Software Quality | API survey released by SmartBear last year showed the growing popularity of the AsyncAPI standard, doubling from the previous survey. The findings also showed that 81% of respondents use more than one API specification with 57% using three or more.
With SwaggerHub’s support for the AsyncAPI Specification, SmartBear continues to deliver ways to improve the experience for teams working with APIs and microservices, regardless of the complexity. Improving discoverability with streamlined governance across various specifications that make up modern day microservice architectures improves developer visibility, allowing teams to remain in flow state for longer.
